I don't look at Twitter as a means to make money. The way I see that Twitter works best is if you use it as e real time communication tool. So no automation not for me anyway.
The way I use and teach others how to use Twitter is to Engage Interact and add Value.
Simple doing this and showing an interest in those you choose to interact with, will make you clearly stand out from the get 100 followers a day crowd.
Off my soapbox Now LOL
